It just worked.
I've felt compelled to post; it just works!
I've got a pc which is over a decade old; I've only ever used Microsoft with my main OS on that machine being windows 7 and then windows 10.
With the new requirements for windows 11 being what they were I was considering installing it anyway with some workarounds.
My computer appeared to be getting slower, I was annoyed with all of the bloat which goes along with the Microsoft OS, the constant reminders to "finish setting up my device" and use one drive. All of this was a bit too much for me.
I figured I'd have a go at installing a Linux OS. I'd ran Ubuntu years and years ago as an experiment on an evening older pc and it was very much sub par, it looked nice, it was a pain to do anything and didn't play any of the games I wanted at the time.
A little bit of research told me that Linux mint may be a good option. I also read that dual booting can be difficult. So I just backed up my data, and installed it on the hard disk.
It was mostly seamless, I had issues with my graphics driver, which meant I couldn't click the buttons to install mint & crashes, when running off the live disk to see what the os was like. This was part of the reason I just installed it on the hard drive and didn't go through with a 'testing' phase.
Once that was resolved by installing the Nvidia driver I could use mint. This was made quite easy as it was just a few clicks in the gui and made really obvious to see. And the Mint does everything I need it to!
Gaming appears to have come a long, long way, I ran Civ V to test and it worked.
My Bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected without issue.
The libre office suite is great to use and I've found it similar to the Microsoft equivalents.
My computer appears to be faster. I now realise that it was actually just the additional demands of the Microsoft OS on my machine which slowed it.
I have a multi screen set up, this simply just worked, the only tweek I made was selecting my main monitor.
To top it all, and perhaps the most surprising thing for me (and the reason for the post) is the printer just worked. Like, printers never just work. It's just plugged in, recognised and I could print. No additional set up needed.
I'm short, Linux has progressed so much over the years. I thank all those who have worked on it to make it such a great option. It will be my main OS going forward and I'll advocate for it. I'll also ensure that my kids are running a Linux OS when they have computers of their own.
So, if you're reading this and unsure about Linux, don't be. It's great and easy to set up, works flawlessly.

Iran Vows To Respond After IAEA Passes Noncompliance Resolution
The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) Board of Governors has passed a resolution formally declaring Iran noncompliant with its nonproliferation obligations for the first time since 2005, a move Tehran immediately condemned.The resolution, which was adopted on June 12 during a quarterly meeting of the IAEA board, can facilitate the return of UN sanctions against Iran later this year.
In response, Iran's Foreign Ministry announced that a new enrichment site would be established in a safe zone and first-generation centrifuges in the Fordo site will be replaced with advanced sixth-generation machines.
"As we have previously stated, the Islamic Republic of Iran has no choice but to respond to this political resolution," the ministry said in a statement.

“Piracy is Piracy” – Disney and Universal team up to sue Midjourney
- Disney and NBCUniversal have teamed up to sue Midjourney.
- The companies allege that the platform used its copyright protected material to train its model and that users can generate content that infringes on Disney and Universal’s copyrighted material.
- The scathing lawsuit requests that Midjourney be made to pay up for the damage it has caused the two companies.

I say this as a massive AI critic: Disney does not have a legitimate grievance here.
AI training data is scraping. Scraping is — and must continue to be — fair use. As Cory Doctorow (fellow AI critic) says: Scraping against the wishes of the scraped is good, actually.
I want generative AI firms to get taken down. But I want them to be taken down for the right reasons.
Their products are toxic to communication and collaboration.
They are the embodiment of a pathology that sees humanity — what they might call inefficiency, disagreement, incoherence, emotionality, bias, chaos, disobedience — as a problem, and technology as the answer.
Dismantle them on the basis of what their poison does to public discourse, shared knowledge, connection to each other, mental well-being, fair competition, privacy, labor dignity, and personal identity.
Not because they didn’t pay the fucking Mickey Mouse toll.

Israeli army officers refuse to serve in ‘unnecessary, eternal war’ in Gaza; say many hostages have been killed by IDF bombings
Israel’s government is issuing “clearly illegal” orders that must not be obeyed, a group of Israeli military intelligence officers have said, announcing they will no longer participate in combat operations in Gaza.
The intelligence officers said Netanyahu’s government had given a “death sentence” to the Israeli hostages held by Hamas militants in Gaza when it “chose to collapse” the ceasefire deal in March.
The group, which is understood to include members of the elite military surveillance division Unit 8200, claimed that “many hostages have already been killed by IDF bombings” and accused the government of continuing to “abandon their lives”.
Organised by the anti-war group Soldiers for the Hostages, the letter comes amid growing dissent within certain parts of the military over the continuation of the war in Gaza and an apparent increase in the numbers of soldiers who are refusing to fight.

Even when protesting the war they only care about their hostages.
Not saying they shouldn't care about them, but deliberately only caring about them and not the tens of thousands of Palestinian women and children they murdered speaks volumes.

A Carrelli tram in Milan, Italy, from 1927
I took a picture of this tram this morning.
This is a series of trams "type Edison" produced in Italy in the period 1927-1930
They are in active use on a number of lines in Milan, and while beautiful, they are slow, hardly accessible and noisy... But still.
